Lol. Goes against the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Many people tried to this this for hundreds of years but up till now they still cant do it. Im sure an olympic runner can do like 32km/ph. But hey its progress they are making so all in good time...

Yep. Before they had nice good diesel motors (and even for a long time afterwards for fire hazard reasons), for small (esp. indoors) shunting locos, they were often converted steam locos to `fireless locos' -- simply instead of using compressed steam from a boiler, they used compressed air which was generated elsewhere. Many factories couldn't have fires inside, not just because of smoke etc. but because of gases and fire risk.
Later on they had dedicated cabless fireless locomotives, just looked like a small bulk-liquid wagon, a big compressed air tank on a couple of axles as a 0-4-0, no cab or footplate, just a few levers on the outside to run it.
Before they ran out of pressure, they'd drive them over to a point in the factory where they could charge them back up with a compressor -- run by a big fired engine outside that took care of all the power in the factory.
So yeah, nothing new, just add a bit more plumbing to the bike and add a boiler and firebox... that'd be a bit more interesting.

I think I recall an attempt in the late 70's to ride accross the Waimak on something like a honda ag bike with snorkels, ridden by a diver....Any one recall more about that?
Wind powered compressor like a wind turbine...
Roughly from memory it takes a 10 hp dive compressor 1/2 an hour to fill a 3300psi dive bottle....work this backwards roughly again, 10 hp Motor should run 1/2 hour on one dive bottle.
Refil every what... 18 meters?
Duh?
Watch this spot, it has potential and is simple in its concept as with all great ideas.
I thought I thought that
The basic theory has a big hole in it - you don't get nothing for free
You have to compress the air first
It takes more energy to compress air than the energy you get from the resulting pressure
Every cube of air is produced with the same amount of energy - from the first pump to the last pump
But when expelled the pressure drops and the energy expended reduces per volume - the last bit is practically useless

backyard tinkerers have been doing this to bicycles for ages i beleive. That way when you run out of air, you still got pedals!
On a more technical note, the efficiency of compresing air is pretty piss-poor at high pressures, sometimes as low as 10%, so theyre not only just shifting the energy problem somewhere else, theyre making it worse.
Points for thinking outside the box though, pity the bigger companies arent exploring alternative energys as much.
